 What
does that symbol mean?
When
you're looking for a plastic surgeon, make sure he or she displays
the twin arcs that form the logo of the American Society of Plastic
Surgeons (ASPS). While you might accept "generic" substitutes
in your weekly grocery shopping, when you're dealing with the future
of your body, you don't want to cut corners.
The
ASPS symbol of excellence is the sign to look for when you're searching
for a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery (ABPS). While other physicians may practice cosmetic surgery,
not all may display this prestigious symbol. In order to become
an ASPS member, a plastic surgeon must be certified by the ABPS
medical board or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Canada.
Only
ASPS members are allowed to display the twin arcs - a symbol of
excellence in plastic surgery. The two arcs that are almost, but
never quite touching, represent the plastic surgeon's quest for
perfection in molding the human form. It's the symbol of searching
for the ideal, of striving for beauty. It's the symbol of excellence
in plastic surgery. Look for it.
